Site requirements
The QIAcube Connect MDx must be located out of direct sunlight, away from heat sources and
away from sources of vibration and electrical interference. Refer to Appendix A – Technical data
for the operating conditions (temperature and humidity). The site of installation should be free of
excessive drafts, excessive moisture and excessive dust and should not be subject to large
temperature fluctuations.
Use a level workbench that is large enough and strong enough to accommodate the QIAcube
Connect MDx. Refer to Appendix A – Technical data for the weight and dimensions of the QIAcube
Connect MDx.
Ensure that the workbench is dry, clean, vibration-proof, and has additional space for accessories.
Do not use this device in close proximity to sources of strong electromagnetic radiation (e.g.
unshielded intentional RF sources), as these can interfere with proper operation.
The QIAcube Connect MDx must be placed within approximately 1.5 m of a properly grounded
(earthed) AC power outlet. The power line to the instrument should be voltage regulated and surge
protected. Ensure that the QIAcube Connect MDx is positioned so that it is easy to access the power
connector at the back of the instrument and the power switch on the front at all times, and that it is
easy to power the instrument OFF and disconnect it.
Note
: It is recommended to plug the instrument directly into its own power outlet and not to share
the power outlet with another lab equipment. Do not place the QIAcube Connect MDx on a
vibrating surface or near vibrating objects.
